Question
How should I handle my child’s digestive disorder? The child is 2.5 years old, and the duration of the disorder is uncertain. The current condition is that the stool is often soft, with a medical history of two episodes. Previous diagnoses and treatment processes and effects were due to indigestion, with auxiliary examinations indicating other issues.
Answer
Digestive disorders in infants are usually temporary and can be prevented and treated by maintaining appetite and being attentive to eating habits. Keep the child’s appetite in good condition, pay attention to the eating environment, and avoid noisy and inappropriate eating conditions. Do not force feeding or limit food intake, avoid eating candies before meals, and ensure the child is not too tired or stressed when eating. The food should be appealing in color, smell, and taste.
